The office unit in NEST<\/a> called Sprint is intended to set new standards for circular building. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place in mid-April. It should be finished in summer. Sprint is located on the first floor of NEST in Dübendorf. The three-storey modular building is the research and innovation<\/span> center of the Federal Materials Testing and Research Institute ( Empa<\/a> ) and the water research institute of the ETH Domain ( Eawag<\/a> ).<\/p>\n

As stated in a press release<\/a> by Empa, those involved in the planning concentrated on finding the most general solutions possible for a later dismantling. In doing so, they follow a design<\/span> approach that facilitates future changes and dismantling to recover systems, components and materials. Today's buildings have to be built in such a way “that their components can be fed back into cycles”, says Kerstin Müller, managing architect at baubüro in situ<\/a> and managing director of Zirkular GmbH<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Your colleague Oliver Seidel points out that reusing materials is often associated with lower costs. “But the added value<\/span> lies in another area: Re-use is more sustainable. And in terms of quality there is no loss. ”On the contrary. For example, the aesthetics of an old wooden parquet floor represent added value<\/span>.<\/p>\n

"For the first time, Empa is combining the approach of reuse and the market requirements of fast and flexible construction," Enrico Marchesi, innovation<\/span> manager and project manager at NEST, is quoted as saying. "With the new 'Sprint' unit, we want to show that these needs can be met together."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
